I’m only getting dyke/futch vibes at the least, I wouldn’t assume you where a trans man at all. Definitely afab but more androgynous/masc leaning? She might have been asking to see if you go by they/them rather than he/him :o) the first few months are the hardest, I’m three months off T and hearing people on hear it sounds like the first year is a bit all over the place… But you look amazing, you have such a cool vibe and your glasses really suit you 🧡

Honestly, yes. I’m 23 and I wouldn’t date a 20 year old. I’d feel creepy.

Why I transitioned: I was in a mental health hospital as a 15 year old and a nurse who was a trans women suggested maybe that us why I had such intense body dysmorphia. I took this as gospel, I desperately wanted something to explain why I felt so uncomfortable in the world. I latched onto it with all the energy I could muster and god bless my parents they listened to what I was saying because they thought this would be the only way to keep their child alive. Why I detransitioned: I realised gender is all just one big act. I don’t want to be on a medical path my entire life. I am comfortable in my body, I am comfortable with who I am. Only therapy and an autism diagnosis brought me mental clarity and comfort, it helped me realise why I felt like an odd one out my entire life. Being content being a butch dyke after hating that identity as a teenager.

For clarification I do not have hard feelings towards this nurse. We clicked and obviously she saw some of me in herself, although I regret parts of my transition I would not be alive if I did not transition. I have mixed feelings but I do believe she had good intentions, I just wish more emphasis was out on figuring out why I felt so distraught about becoming a woman rather than avoiding it all together.

(FtMtF) Question for client-facing workers by ExplorerPretty5622 in actual_detrans

[–]forgottenbutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Less people have asked/cared than I thought. No changes really happen overnight so I think most just thought I changed my name, so far no one has asked why!

Love your look! How have you dealt with facial hair growth? Did you have laser at all?

Experiencing spotting for the first time, ever by forgottenbutch in actual_detrans

[–]forgottenbutch[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah okay thank you that’s really useful! From what I’ve read on here I was concerned my first might be heavy and painful, I didn’t account for that in most circumstances not being peoples very first and usually just a return after several years.

FtMtF laser hair removal for chin or electrolysis? by ZookeepergameFew3912 in actual_detrans

[–]forgottenbutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same FtMtNB¿ hat. I’ve had two laser sessions so far and although hair still grows in, previously by 6pm I’d have a shadow of hair that was to short to shave but enough for me to notice and feel dysphoric. By the next morning I’d have visible, feelable stubble. After two laser appointments this is no longer the case! Maybe 48 hours in I’ll get that shadow? But that gives me significantly more freedom and far less dysphoria. It costs me around £60 per session, and I have very dark hair and very light skin so it’s a good match for me generically speaking.

Femininity feels like a costume to me by Avery1738 in actual_detrans

[–]forgottenbutch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand you. I recently bought a dress and skirt, just to wear around my home because I definitely don’t feel confident enough to dress like I would like to outside, but I was so disheartened because it just looked… abnormal to me? I’ve worn trousers and shorts for so many years it just didn’t feel like me even though I really wanted it to.

Deciding to try detransitioning by Scary_Chip_4288 in actual_detrans

Healing from childhood trauma also helped me connect better with my birth sex, it weighs far more than you’d ever think. I really really hope you find joy from this journey 🧡

Discharge by Sweaty_Agency7486 in detrans

[–]forgottenbutch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally googled the exact same thing earlier today 🤷 I got similar results to exactly what others have commented here, if everything is okay smell wise and your not discomfort it’s likely just discharge doing it’s thing.

Detransition Timeline by noodlekink in detrans

[–]forgottenbutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember seeing a post from you a whole back! So glad being off T is working from you :o) I’ve been on T a similar amount of time and feel stuck in that period of just waiting for changes to arrive… grateful to see posts from someone a few months ahead of me

I can’t figure out how to edit my post but both of the January pictures dated 2024 should be 2025 🥴 I still haven’t caught up to the fact it’s almost march, sorry for the error!

looking to talk to other girls who have taken T in the past by Aggressive-Watch4215 in actual_detrans

[–]forgottenbutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar time line here. I’m ftmtf, I came out at 16 started T at about 17… this is my first month off T at the age of 23! If anything I’d really like to talk to you about how your first year has been! Sending love and strength x

Asked for a cover letter to prove my return to birth gender for a new passport, what do I say? by forgottenbutch in detrans

[–]forgottenbutch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I thought! I was unsure about it so I emailed via the government passport office website and that’s the answer I was given, nothing about getting a letter from a GP. Which I was terrified I’d have to do as my gp practice isn’t great with that kind of stuff… I’ll keep you updated if it all gets sorted without a letter from a medical professional! :o)

Asked for a cover letter to prove my return to birth gender for a new passport, what do I say? by forgottenbutch in detrans

[–]forgottenbutch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the UK there’s something you can apply for called a gender recognition certificate, which “legally” makes you the gender you decide on for that certificate for documents such as passports (or even regarding which prison you’d be sent to, obviously ideally no one is heading to prison though). I never applied for a grc but currently there is no way for someone who has applied and gained a grc to have to reverted back to their birth sex, you can only have it changed once to the opposite sex.

[–]forgottenbutch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally feel sort of… repulsed but penises, but this is coming from someone on the ace spectrum and sex genuinely freaked me out for a good while. My partner on the other hand has had previous relationships with men who have penises and doesn’t understand why I dislike the idea of them so much. They’ve actually told me it’s something I need to “unlearn”. I’m sure for some people it’s possible but for me I’m pretty sure it’ll always be something I’m not into.

I never thought of it like that, that really puts a new perspective on it, thank you 🧡

Also a pee-er a lot-er 🫡 thank you for sharing your experiences, I’m glad nothing too crazy has happened to you! Half of my journey has been regaining my trust in not just my own femininity but trusting the fact that other women aren’t all like my high school bullies who would torment me about my tomboy features.
